HCISO and SNSO : A JOINT AFFAIR
24 November '06

Had a three-day camp to prepare us for the joint concert. On the first day, well, typical icebreakers. We played DOULEWHACKO. We hardly know the HCI people and we ended up SN attack SN, HCI attack HCI. Sooo many people, sooo many names, I can't even remember any, I don't even know the names of the SN sec ones... How exactly am I supposed to play WHACKO then?

We were split into groups of 8, I think. They had to split shir and me up ! ): I was the only Sec three from SN, the only violin 1, so it was like impossible to break the ice. Then we sort of stoned for like 20-30 minutes in the stony silence before we played TRUTHORDARE. We had a whole two hours to waste, can't possibly stone for 2 hours, right? One of the dare was to eat a capful of SAMBALCHILLI, no water, no nothing. The HCI kena, but he seemed very unaffected, and gulped (gulped?!) the chilli down. I also kena, but my dare was to slap either the PRESIDENT or V.PRESIDENT. Hahaha ! Too bad the V.P. crossed my path, then okay lah, I slapped him, and he turned out to be violin 1 sectional leader.
...

We had lunch at 2.00. The rice is like guy's portion. Two girls can finish one packet even though we were sooo hungry. Then after that prac like siao.

On the second day, the HCI people came to our school. Played treasure hunt. Have to thank god it was held in our school instead of theirs.

The third day was like hell. We rehearsed the arrangement of chairs again and again. The teacher (wa piang eh !) still not happy, for the past two days she's been screaming at people, I sort of expected her to have sore throat on the third day but she's still strong and going. She screamed even louder than before, as if that's her last moment to use her voice. Then one of the guys buay tahan already, omg, he shouted at the teacher ! He talked so fast until we cannot even distinguish the words, but he's still so pro ! Then he stomped into the backstage and in the process delibrately knocked the chairs down. (Just like shir had said, "his face look like trevor sze, his temper also like trevor sze.") I bet the teacher was thinking "omfg, wtf !", and she stood there stunned and shut up. Good for her. Bad that she recovered so fast from her shock, she started screaming unreasonably again. ):
(Because of her, people start fighting at the backstage.)

Oh, and he was the same guy who helped us open the door after cong's and my fruitless attempts to open the doors (doors, not door), along with endless complains of "they locked the door? Huh? Why they locked the door ?! How to go in ?!" And he passed by and opened the door on his first try, after we banged and twisted the handle don't know how many times. -.-

The stage is so cramped, I hardly had any space to play my violin. I stabbed MA's stand partner twice in the back, bounced my bow at WM's (he got a huge shock, sort of almost jumped in the chair, 'cause no one would have expected to be hit on the head. Hahaha !), then my stand partner's bow poked me don't know how many times, it tickles okay ?! Made me lose count... ):

This is the most tiring concert ever. Made me stand in the dark for sooo long, sit on the wooden chair butt hurt like hell. The school's big like don't know what, walk for three days still can't get familiarize with the way. One building's so far from the other, my legs hurt lah !
